Subject: Pine and PC, need pop solution

Hi. Of course we all know, pine rules. Where I am now,
I only have a PC, but PC-Pine doesn't support pop, and there's
no access to mount my mail dir from the PC. So I need some kind of
pop client utility that can periodically download my files.
Any suggestions?
	Thanks.

I had to do the same (my new ISP doesn't support IMAP). Try Pegasus Mail 
(http://www.pegasus.usa.com/). I use it now and am quite happy with it.

Only the Unix versions of Pine supports pop3.

Are you sure that PC-Pine doesn't do pop3?  Try

inbox-path= {your.pop.host/pop3}
